Chapter 13
\n\nThe Innocent Murderer 13 – Inner Mole
"What did you think of?" Bai Yutang was curious.
"Hmm…" Zhan Zhao touched his chin and got up from the bed. He ran to the storage room and brought out three boxes.
"What are those?" Bai Yutang looked at the boxes in confusion. He had always thought it was a shoe box. Zhan Zhao opened the box and saw that it was full of letters.
 
"They are all written by readers. The editor sorted it out for me." Zhan Zhao whispered, and looked up at Bai Yutang.
"Cat…" Bai Yutang pointed at the three shoe boxes, "Why didn’t I know about these."
"You are so jealous…" Zhan Zhao whispered, "If you knew you would have burned them all!"
"Huh…" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, and said, I'll burn them when you finish reading them!
Zhan Zhao held the envelopes up to the light one by one as if he was looking at the contents of each one.
"What are you looking for?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
"I remember that there were a few letters with a few petal-shaped objects in them.”
"Petals?" Bai Yutang also held the envelope and pointed to the light. "Cat, you haven't opened these letters?"
"En…Each one has a photo, which is very interesting." Zhan Zhao said honestly, "Ah! I found it!" As he said it, he pulled out three letters with the same pink envelope and showed them to Bai Yutang. “These letters."
"The earliest one was mailed half a year ago." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, seeing that there was no sender's address on the envelope, only the name “student”.
"Heh… this name." Bai Yutang shook his head and opened the envelope. Sure enough, a few petals slipped out from inside, but their colour was black or brown rather than red. Bai Yutang has been a policeman for a long time, and he is naturally familiar with this color; this is the color that blood turns after it has dried up.
Zhan Zhao quickly took out the letter paper and read it.\n
"What did they write?" Bai Yutang leaned forward curiously and watched with Zhan Zhao.
The letter in front of him was very long, with many pages. It neatly written, with tables and pictures in it, and it looked like a student's homework. It was really worthy of the name "student". At the speed Zhan Zhao was reading, he finished reading the page before Bai Yutang could read a few lines. He decided to give up and just wait for Zhan Zhao to tell him after reading it. He lowered his head to study the few petals intently.
"Huh…" Zhan Zhao quickly read all three letters, put down the letter paper and let out a long sigh.
"What's the matter?" Bai Yutang looked up at him, "What did the letter say?"
"These letters perfectly represent a person's psychological evolution process!" Zhan Zhao held up the first letter, which has four pages, and said, "When writing this letter, he was curious and interested in psychology but made a mistake: researching students."
He picked up the second letter, two pages, "This letter, he has gone further and further on the wrong path, and he has begun to overturn his entire outlook on life."
"This last one." Zhan Zhao picked up the letter paper that was only the size of dried tofu. "He is already abnormal."
Bai Yutang took the three letters, looked at it, and asked Zhan Zhao, "What else?"
"The first letter." Zhan Zhao pointed to the letter and said, "This person almost memorized my book and questioned some points. The rough idea is that he is very interested in some topics that I deliberately avoided."
"A topic that you deliberately avoided?" Bai Yutang was also interested, "What topics did you deliberately avoid in the book?"
"For example, some details of psychological crimes, hypnotic techniques, and subconscious hints. They are all professional techniques that are not very easy to learn." Zhan Zhao said, "I'm afraid that someone will go out and use it after only learning part of the technique then hurt themself and others."
"En." Bai Yutang nodded thoughtfully, "but it seems that he is more interested in the techniques that are not made known to the public."
"Let's put these aside for now. Look here." Zhan Zhao pointed at the last line of the letter, "Look at what he wrote, 'I know you may not be able to read this letter, or that you will not take it seriously, but I still want to say this, I LOVE YOU!'"
Bai Yutang curled his lips, "He fell in love just from reading your book?"
"Then there is the second letter." Zhan Zhao pointed to the second letter. "In this letter, many of his own psychological research results are about putting the techniques into practice. Look at his last sentence! "
When Bai Yutang looked at it, he saw the last sentence written: “If I use the method I researched to commit a crime, can you catch me?"
"Catch…" Bai Yutang was dumbfounded, and turned to the last one, "Is there a “body” in it?"
In the last letter, there was only one sentence, "It seems that all theories are just empty talk… If you want to do research, you must experiment! Let me create a body."\nAt this time, the two were completely shocked.
Bai Yutang was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, "Cat, is this kid doing an experiment?"
Zhan Zhao frowned and walked to the sofa to sit down, shook his head and said, "He is not only doing the experiment by himself, but he also wants me to do it with him."
"What is it for?" Bai Yutang sat next to him, "This is also a clue. I will hand it over to the colleagues in the forensic science team tomorrow so that they can find the source of this letter. That way we can check it."
"En." Zhan Zhao nodded. "This person should be near us." He whispered. "Or there is a direct source of information, otherwise how can he know our whereabouts clearly, or even deliver things to the door of our house?"
"It's really suspicious." Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to collect the things and put them in the evidence bag, "Study it again when we go back to the police station tomorrow morning, you are too tired tonight!" After speaking, he took Zhan Zhao and walked back to the room to lie down on the bed.
The two of them laid back on the bed and looked up at the ceiling in a daze. After half an hour, the two who gave up on their messy thoughts, hugged each other and fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, the two of them left the house feeling refreshed. Sure enough, they found that the bloody flowers at the door were still there, but the blood was all dried up. They packed it in evidence bags and the two strolled back to the police station.
The rest of the SCI members also returned to the police station. As expected, Bao Zheng attached great importance to the case last night. After a meeting with the higher-ups, he left after saying one sentence, "If you can’t solve this case in half a month, you will all be cleaning the toilets!”
When Bao Zheng left, the remaining people stared with big eyes. Zhao Hu poked Mahan, and whispered, "You say, why do you think he threatens our boss with cleaning the toilet every time?"
Ma Han didn't answer, but gave him a glaring look.
"Did Gongsun's autopsy result come out?" Bai Yutang asked.
"It probably will soon." Luo Tian said, "Gongsun stayed in the forensic room all night…" As soon as the voice fell, the door was pushed open with a bang, Gongsun rushed in aggressively. His face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot with dark circles under them and a murderous look in them.
Everyone was obediently silent, waiting for Gongsun to tell them the result of the autopsy.
"Bang!" He slapped the information on the table, and Gongsun gasped and cursed, "Damn it, we were fooled!"
The other people looked at each other and a chilling atmosphere spread. Bai Yutang asked, "How were we fooled?"
"The two corpses contain drugse which are similar to those used for rape!" Gongsun sat down angrily. "This crime is not at the same level as the ‘I LOVE YOU’ case!"
"What?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "There’s drugs?"\n\nZhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and asked, "Who are you?"
"The murderer." The man smiled softly, "I was the one who did the dismemberment case, the split body case, and the body swapping case."
Bai Yutang frowned and sneered, "The case of dismemberment has been solved."
"Haha…" The man laughed twice and did not answer, but changed the subject in an instant, "Dr. Zhan, let's play a game."
"What game?" Zhan Zhao asked coldly.
"First of all, you have to know that I do everything for one purpose." The man was a little excited when he spoke.
"What's your purpose?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"I LOVE YOU!" said slowly on the other end of the phone.
Zhan Zhao sneered, "I didn't see it."
"Hey, you will see it later." The voice continued, "Let me talk about the rules of the game."
"Say it."
"It's very simple! You have to catch me in the shortest time, otherwise, you will find more and more bodies!"
After speaking, he hung up the phone and the busy tone rang out.
Bai Yutang looked up and asked Jiang Ping: "Have you found it?"
Jiang Ping’s hands shook and he stammered, "Found… Found it…”
"Where?" Bai Yutang felt that his mood was wired.
"It’s…in this building!"
